We would like to inform you of an internship that may be of interest to your students. This is one of the ONAMI Graduate Internships in Startups program. The internship is with Diatomix, Inc.

The ONAMI Graduate Internships are open to graduate students who are currently working with ONAMI Member Researchers, or who have completed their MS or PhD within the last year. The position description for the internship is attached. Please share this opportunity with your students who may be interested and qualified.

ONAMI Graduate Internships in Startups (GIST) Program: ONAMI will fund internships for qualified grad students or recent graduates at ONAMI portfolio companies for 6-9 months. This is a great opportunity for a student to determine if the startup environment is an attractive career option. Experience to date has proven the internships beneficial to both company and student.

When a match is found (this is determined by the student and company), ONAMI will enter into an agreement with the company, and the student will become a company employee or contractor. ONAMI will fund the internship at the rate of $25/hour, paid to the company. The company will provide the intern with salary (at least $25/hour), supervision, training, materials and mentorship. (Any additional compensation or benefits are the option of the company.) ONAMI will fund the company up front for half of the internship. Brief (non-confidential) monthly reports from the student, as well as a mid-term review by both company and student will determine if the internship will proceed. At that point, ONAMI will fund the remainder of the internship.

We look forward to hearing from students interested in the internship.
